Olamide’s new album, “Olamidé,” has dominated UK and US Apple Top Albums Chart, marking a momentous first for the him in that market.
This achievement makes “Olamidé” one of just twelve Nigerian albums ever to reach the #1 spot in the UK. Meanwhile, 2025 has emerged as a breakthrough year for Nigerian music in the US, and Olamide is riding the wave.
“Olamidé” is joined by two other Nigerian projects that have peaked on the US Apple Albums chart—making Olamide a key contributor to this historic moment with “Olamidé” peaking at #5, the highest peak yet this year.
These chart milestones underscore that, musically and commercially, Olamide is experiencing his strongest period to date on both sides of the Atlantic.
In short, 2025 has proven to be his most successful yet—securing a first-time UK #1 while helping define a banner year for Nigerian artists in the US Apple ecosystem.
